Crohn's Partial Small Bowel Resection

I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease back in May of 2006.  I was able to get married, have 3 kids and live a pretty normal life until about March of 2012.  I landed in the hospital with a small bowel obstruction.  Was in there for about a week and left with some Entocort and took that for about three months.  I never fully recovered from that hospital stay. Extreme fatigue and lots of body aches and joint pain and intestinal pain.  Although, I will say I feel like I am lucky because my Crohns doesn't make me go to the bathroom a lot like most. (Although I think this is due to my diet) Then, on Christmas Day in 2012 I returned back to the hospital for another week stay and was sent home with Entocort and this time my dr decided surgery is probably my best option.  So on March 1, I will be having my first (hopefully only) surgery for Crohns.  I will be having a Small Bowel Resection.  They will be taking out part of my small bowel (the diseased part) and a little bit of the colon.  Also, he is doing the surgery laproscopic using the robot.  I researched and researched this surgery and to be honest...it scared me to death! The stories of how bad the surgery was and how long the recovery is scared me.  But when I met with my surgeon, he made it not seem nearly as bad.  Have the surgery, stay for 2-10 days in the hospital and then go home sore and be back to normal in about 6 weeks.  So, I decided to document the entire process so if anyone is getting ready to have the same surgery I am having can read and kind of know what to expect.  I sure appreciated everyone who put their stories online so I could see!  Today is Tuesday and my surgery is on Friday.  No special diet or anything beforehand.  I don't even have to do the "prep" like when you have a colonoscopy.  Every story I read they had to be on a "liquid diet" before and do the "prep".  So I will be updating as I am in the hospital so I will remember all the pains or anything I experience.  Wish me luck! My plan is to have this surgery my "Re-start" I plan on sticking better to being Primal and hopefully start blogging more recipes and stuff as well;)
